Simple thread concept: Have everyone post a screenshot of their desktop to display whatever wallpaper they have on their computer.
HOW TO TAKE A SCREENSHOT
Close or minimize all the windows you have open. Now, do you see that key marked "print scrn" on your keyboard? It's probably just up and to the right of your "backspace" key. Press it. You should now have an image of whatever your screen was showing when you pressed the button, minus your cursor. Now open an image editing program (such as MS Paint) and "paste" the image. Your screenshot should now show in the image program. Save the image and upload it to an image host (we prefer imageshack around these parts) and you're good.
Please don't post the full image here: use thumbnails or links, instead. Enough full-sized wallpapers posted here would create problems for potential members with slower connections.
I'll start us off with the Gurren Brigade logo that's currently commandeering my desktop terminal. The source image (without icons/taskbar) is here, in widescreen.
